Rey was more than happy to be told she was wrong, especially since she hadn't been the source of any of these stories and she was instead now getting them directly from the source. Or, at least, the source of a third of the story, with many arguing that it might have been the most important part. Somehow, though, she doubted Luke would agree.
She took the plate when he offered it, giving him a nod of thanks but not wanting to interrupt him as he seemed ready to burst to tell her about how wrong she was. It was sort of nice, seeing him actually care enough about something to want to make sure it was fully understood, not just because it was a lesson that needed to be learned but because of the sheer principle of the thing. Maybe that was why she had a small smile on her face as she followed after him, listening to him as he spoke.
"Heroes and legends are people at their core," she brought up, sitting cross-legged on the rocky ground. "Or droids, though I guess some could argue that they count as people too. It might be hard to keep that in mind sometimes, but history is written with every passing day. What the Resistance is doing today, win or lose, is going to be remembered differently tomorrow by whoever hears its story."
Assuming, of course, that the First Order didn't succeed in wiping out the entire galaxy in a mad drive for power. But she pushed that thought aside, tucking into her food as she thought over what he'd said.
"So you just... accidentally saw a message from Leia, never knowing who she was other than a princess, and left your farm on Tatooine - which, by the way, is almost as bad as Jakku, so you were one to talk when you called it nowhere - to go rescue her?"
